Sun TV News jobs

David Akin's On The Hill posting yesterday asks: Want to work at Sun TV?

"We're busy building the team that will take the new national news and current affairs cable channel Sun TV to air early in the new year and our team has just posted up the following positions."

Positions open are: Senior talk show producer, national assignment editor and senior news producer.

Resumes to resumes@suntv.canoe.ca by Nov. 26.

While bodies have been hired and more are being sought, a launch date for Sun News, aka Fox News North, hasn't been announced and we have yet to hear how much Quebecor will be spending on the national project.

We envision small potatoes compared to CBC, CTV and the major U.S. news channels, but it will depend on the amount of money PKP is willing to pump into Sun TV News.

BTW: Be careful on the new Sun TV News website. When visiting the outdated news page, it froze our screen and computer. That doesn't bode well for confidence in the online product.

The latest news on the site was from October.

  1. Why is SunTV's latest news from 18 days ago? Hasn't any news happened since? Look at the SunTV's press releases:

    AKIN, LILLEY JOIN HARD NEWS TEAM

    TOBIAS FISHER JOINS HARD NEWS TEAM

    Notice that only men join the HARD NEWS TEAM. Female reporters are "additions" to the news team. Someone has been watching too much Ron Burgundy, (didn't he have a "hard news team?")

  2. Come work for a station that doesn't exist yet. Become the next one to get screwed over by this company and broken promises.

  3. Once Quebecor gets the all-important 839 managers hired, I expect they'll be running ads looking for eight or nine high school students to work as volunteer videographers for FNN so the network is fully staffed.

  4. Why would Canada want another news channel? After all, there's the CBC and CTV... another viewpoint, no way!!... Let those 2 do our thinking for us.. chew your cud, go back to sleep.. dissenters, shut up, go to work... pay more taxes!!!
